Started on a rod for myself last night. Using a point blank 7'MF (PB701MF) with Winn Grips & all the trim. As I like to be different, I didn't use the reel seat arbor as the reel seat Arbor. I bought an extra one for that, and used the one that came with the perfect fit trim kit for something else ;)

Let me know what y'all think about it...

thanks guys, only got to work on it a little tonight. Started work on a tarpon rod for someone.

Hopefully I'll get them both done by the weekend.

the rain has slowed us down a little here lately... even if its not raining, it's too muddy to build the pad so... having to wait for it to dry out a little.

Plus I've got a Guntersville trip in February to get ready for!! lol

Thanks guys. Been a busy couple of weeks. Started the pad at our home site. Had to stop work on my rod to finish a Tarpon Rod (yeah.... that was interesting. Lol) but it's back to work on my frog rod now! G-Ville trip is coming quick.













The eyes on this thing are freaking huge.
